Scott Pioli has been hired by the Chiefs. Also the Denver Broncos have signed Mike Nolan to a 2 year contract to fill the DC position.

Will Pioli want the Chiefs to switch to a 3-4? If so, kind of sucks for Dorsey.

Also makes you wonder if he'll try to bring Cassel over.

Didn't he just take the same job that he had at New England? If so, why did the Patsies let him go? Was there a falling out between he and B. Bellicheat?

WHAT SAY YE?

I also wanted to add, and this is completely rumor at this point - I live in Kansas City and 610 sports radio said there were unconformed reports that Steve Spagnuolo interviewed with Chiefs owener Clark Hunt last week in Dallas and that he is currently in Kansas City meeting with Chiefs officials and possibly Piolo about the head coach position.

Like I said, pure rumor at this point but it is being reported none the less. I just know he was wanted by many here on clanram.

The only thing that I've heard since the hiring of Pioli is that Herm Edwards is most likely out. (Satelite, NFL Talk)

A potential replacment wasn't mentioned.

Pioli wanted a position that allowed him more control. Pioli and Belichek have been very good friends for a long time and nothing has changed with this move.
